Step inside - As you step into the main entrance, you are greeted by doors leading to the primary living areas. The main sitting room is a haven of comfort, featuring a grand fireplace with a solid oak mantel and a stone hearth flanked by impressive stone pillars, housing a wood-burning stove. Wall-to-wall windows flood the room with light, and French doors open onto a delightful terrace. Adjacent to the lounge, you'll find a utility room and workshop.

The kitchen is a blend of functionality and rustic charm, with oak-fronted cupboards, a four-ring gas hob, a sliding pantry cupboard, and a double oven fitted at eye level. There is space for a dishwasher and fridge freezer. The windows offer enchanting views of the orchard, and an original feature window without glazing provides a peek into the dining room. From the kitchen, a door leads to a small garden room or potting room, featuring a polycarbonate roof and underfloor heating. This space was once an open courtyard.

The L-shaped dining room, seamlessly connected to both the kitchen and the lounge, features dual aspect front-facing windows. Another spacious reception room, currently used as a snooker and games room, spans two levels and includes an open fireplace, a feature stone wall, solid wood flooring, and a bay window.

Stairs lead up to the first-floor landing, where four double bedrooms each offer lovely views across the gardens and grounds. A fifth room, a box room, is presently used as a study. The expansive landing area serves as a charming library. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a jacuzzi bath, an overhead shower, a separate wash hand basin with a vanity unit, and a WC. There is potential to create en-suite facilities, subject to gaining any necessary consents.

Outside - Outside, a circular driveway leads to a detached double garage with an electric door. The land, amounting to approximately 2.9 acres, is predominantly covered by apple orchards. The owners have thoughtfully cultivated a nature reserve, attracting wildlife such as deer, muntjacs, and various bird species.

The garden boasts a beautiful water feature cascading down to a pond, crossed by a bridge leading to a 'secret garden' that conceals a shed and lawn. Mature trees include silver birch, flowering cherry, acer, and wisteria all interspersed with a variety of stunning colourful flowering plants. From the garden, a delightful view of Mayhill and the surrounding countryside can be appreciated.
